Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or Italian seasoned)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to form the crust mixture.
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry. Dip each breast into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the coated chicken breasts. Drizzle with olive oil and bake for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and cooked through.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Pair with sides like steamed vegetables or pasta for a complete meal.
Notes
- Adding red pepper flakes can enhance the flavor.
- Experiment with different cheeses for a unique twist.
- Use gluten-free breadcrumbs for a gluten-free option.
- For a healthier version, bake on a wire rack to reduce excess oil.
